Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Some suggestions that I can give to you are:

-Wash your hands before touching or cleaning your piercing.
-Clean around the piercing with a saltwater rinse three times a day.
-Don't use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or antibiotic ointments.
-Don't remove the piercing.
-Clean the piercing on both sides of your earlobe.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
